Project Grant 2203796
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $142,198 Project Grant under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to the Research Foundation of the City University of New York (RFCUNY) to conduct research on "Lineup Fairness: Optimizing Filler Selection Strategies." The goal of the research is to improve police lineup selection procedures and judicial evaluations of lineup fairness in order to reduce eyewitness misidentifications, a primary source of...
- This two-year, $138,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will fund an early career scientist's ethnographic research on social determinants of knowledge production. Under the sponsorship of researchers at Harvard University and Arizona State University, the grant recipient will conduct comparative multi-site ethnography across regional police departments and nonprofits. Through observations, document analysis, and...
- This $585,775 Project Grant awarded by the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program to Arizona State University (ASU) will test how categorical forensic decisions may contribute to wrongful convictions and identify ways to reduce their harm to the innocent. The three-year project includes five experiments and a continuing legal education component designed for attorneys and judges to promote the fair administration of justice by transforming...
- The Salk Institute For Biological Studies was awarded a $500,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation on May 1, 2021 to complete work by April 30, 2023. The grant falls under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which aims to support basic research and education in these fields as well as monitor science investments. Specifically, the grant will fund research using a perceptual scaling approach to eyewitness identification. The Salk Institute...
- The National Science Foundation (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences Program (CFDA 47.075) awarded a $503,000 Project Grant to Florida International University (FIU) to conduct research on the other-race effect in face perception. The goal of the 3-year project is to understand the types of experiences that lead to the development of the other-race effect and how those experiences modify face perception. The research approach involves testing people using computer-generated faces...
- The National Science Foundation awarded a $192,483 project grant to George Mason University under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075). The two-year award, running from June 2021 through May 2023, will support collaborative research examining exoneration and compensation related to false confessions. As part of its mission to promote basic research in the social and behavioral sciences, the NSF grant will enable George Mason University researchers to contribute...
- This National Science Foundation Project Grant of $519,793 will fund research into visual working memory representations at the University of California, San Diego from July 2022 to June 2025. The award is part of the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), which supports basic research in cognitive sciences. The research will test theories of how visual working memory holds probabilistic information about object features rather than single values. Using...
- This $272,750 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (CFDA 47.075) program supports fundamental research at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) on how people make decisions and interact based on information. The key research focuses include: 1) understanding the long-term implications of people's limited or imperfect memory, which can lead to overconfidence and neglect of rare events; 2) examining how people decide...
- The National Science Foundation Division of Social and Economic Science awarded a $299,608 project grant to the University of Mississippi to support research titled "Group Identification Under Stress: A Comparative Study" from September 1, 2021 through August 31, 2023. The grant supports a research study comparing group identification and behavior under stress in different cultural contexts. The research is being conducted under the NSF's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences...
- This Project Grant, awarded September 1, 2025, by the National Science Foundation's Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences under the Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program (CFDA 47.075), provides $604,425 in funding through August 31, 2028, to support fundamental research on memory-guided attention at UC Berkeley. The primary deliverable is scientific research investigating how the brain's hippocampus minimizes confusion between similar memories to direct attention accurately...
This two-year, $138,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences program will fund research investigating lineup construction processes and eyewitness identifications. The grantee, an early career scientist sponsored by the University of Massachusetts Amherst, will examine how the compositional structure of photo lineups impacts identification accuracy. Three main components are included: similarity judgments to generate multidimensional face spaces mapping lineup perceptions; construction of lineups by participants; and eyewitness identification testing. Data and stimuli will be made available to further the program's goal of supporting basic research and education in the social, behavioral and economic sciences. The completion date is July 31, 2024.
